Multilanguage App Toolkit - can't see the translation

Paul Delia 1

Hello all,

I am doing some tests with MAT and I have a question for an issue I couldn't find in the forums.

According the documentation, the program shows the resources translated to the language set as default in the language settings (that on the top of list), but in my occasion I have to set the windows display language to make it work.
When doing that I can see the program in the correct language no matter what language is in top of the list.

Any hints on what I am doing wrong?

Have you localized the string resources?

Yes of course, otherwise how I could see them correctly when I change windows display language?

I don't have any problem during the process.
As I stated in my OP, to see my app translated in any of the languages it supports, I must change the Windows display language. According the documentation and some tutorial videos I saw like this https://channel9.msdn.com/events/Build/2015/2-90?term=%22multilingual%20app%20toolkit%22&sortBy=recent&lang-en=true (check at 09:25) you only have to change the default language in settings (by moving it on top of the list in recent widows versions as the default button has been removed) which for me does not work!

I have seen the video and that sample link is dead. But There is a dedicated English (qps-ploc) in the system language setting for testing your app using pseudo language.
